Gas Home or All-Electric?
My wife and I have visited The Villages this past February, coming again this June and and again Feb (2020) and are planning to move there sometime in Summer of 2020. My wife is totally hooked on gas stoves and clothes dryer and I prefer a gas furnace. We both have lived in a total electric home in the past and didn't like it.
How many of you have gas service in your homes and how do you like it? Thanks in advance. Frank Thompson |

In TN with have mostly electric with gas heat. In Fenney, we have mostly gas. We have really enjoyed having mostly gas home in Fenney.

Homes in The Villages do not have a furnace. You have A/C which doubles as a heat pump. Its electric. Some areas have gas for other appliances. |

Gas, love it. Have had both, prefer gas for cooking. During the power outage last Sunday I was able to cook with my gas stove!

We have gas for the stove and dryer and if you are planning on buying south of 44 I believe all of the villages down here have it. You really don't need it for heating as you will seldom use your furnace and all of the spec homes have electric heat. You can also buy a natural gas grill and won't have to mess with propane tanks. Gas was definitely one of the selling features when we purchased our home in Fenney.'

We have gas for everything but cooking.I prefer electric for that because it's cleaner.

Very economical to operate, since gas is relatively inexpensive in TV. We had some very cold mornings this past January and February, and I really appreciated the warmth provided by the gas furnace. |

Village of LaZamora is gas or electric, we also prefer gas stove and dryer. It's a matter of what you prefer.

Aside from heating, I much prefer gas cooking. In our last home in Michigan we had a JennAir stove that was a gas cooktop and two electric ovens, one small and one large--all one unit. Man did I love that stove. But we chose both houses for the location and are very happy with that aspect. So we just deal with the electric. However, had I known how much I would not like electric dry heat and no gas stove, I might have given up the idea of a new house and gone for an area with gas.

Do you care what your utilities will cost? If you go gas you will have a monthly bill for the availability of gas if you use it or not.
You might look at the cost of solar electric for the house and go all electric. I have gas heat so I do not know how well electric baseboard heat would work but my guess is it will be easer to get the correct room tempeture than gas hot air. |

We have gas water heater, furnace, dryer and range. Love having gas and would be hard pressed to ever go back to all electric. We are north of 466 where gas is available - don't think that is the case in the southern villages.

We had a heat pump and electric stove up north and the heat pump was not a match for the cold winters and high electric costs. So this was a concern in moving to TV
Here in TV the heat pump works very well for the short mild cold days and the costs are low. The electric range is easy to clean since its a glass top. If you grew up with gas then you probably will prefer gas and if I ever live up north again I would only go with gas. |
